A son watching his father grieve.

 I stood by
watching the grief
                      overtake him
He seems up-right
                               by day
But a mess when no one's looking
A mess he never quite
            got back together
I watched the Grief
                         she left behind.
He pulled us all together
In the quiet of the night
He cried and let it go.
Watching the grief overtake him
                                   harden my heart to her
                   The woman 
                             a one and only
None other
               his wife  
                        My mother.

It takes a lot of work, to make a relationship work. When it doesn't work, everybody suffers.

It has happened to so many these days. Lifelong commitment has become divorce city.

Heart-rendering and savage realism.
